[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Great idea. I heard it on the radio today too.

It got me to thinking about general practitioners in general. Does it make sense to phase them out in favor of Nurse Practitioners? My GP does nothing special - nothing a good Nurser Practitioner couldn't do. If I have more serious problems, I know to go to a specialist.[/quote]

Good luck to you then. I've seen a lot of NPs do ridiculous stuff because all their experience was spent taking orders. So when they see something, its s knee jerk reaction based on the orders they remember taking from physicians. There is little thought as to why the orders were being given. So, if they see 3 things, its a knee jerk reaction with 3 orders and they have no idea that the 3 orders are contradicting each other. They have no idea if and when an order is not appropriate in a situation. Ive seen it send quite a few people to the ER or worse. [/quote]

If you prefer to see a doctor rather than a NP that's your choice. But you don't need to disparage NPs with this anecdotal information. [/quote]
